463. The delimitation of the continental shelf beyond 200 nm gives rise to an
area of limited size located beyond 200 nm from the coast of Bangladesh but
within 200 nm from the coast of Myanmar, yet on the Bangladesh side of the
delimitation line.
464. Such an area results when a delimitation line which is not an
equidistance line reaches the outer limit of one State’s exclusive economic
zone and continues beyond it in the same direction, until it reaches the outer
limit of the other State’s exclusive economic zone. In the present case, the
area, referred to by the Parties as a “grey area”, occurs where the adjusted
equidistance line used for delimitation of the continental shelf goes beyond
200 nm off Bangladesh and continues until it reaches 200 nm off Myanmar.
